Marriott International ranked first in the 2021 DiversityInc Hall of Fame Companies. This ranking was based on the following indicators:

1. Human Capital Diversity Metrics;
2. Leadership Accountability;
3. Talent Programs;
4. Workplace Practices;
5. Supplier Diversity; and
6. Philanthropy (for more details about these indicators, see https://www.diversityinc.com/marriott-international-2021/ ).

Assume you have just been hired as Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at a medium-sized company in the hospitality industry. Several women and minority employees have sued the company for employment discrimination and sexual harassment over the last few years. As a result, the company has developed a reputation for not being inclusive and has had difficulties retaining and attracting women and minority employees. The company is diverse based on the DiversityInc human capital diversity metrics.

As Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, what would be your strategy and action plan to make this company more inclusive?

How would you evaluate the extent to which your strategy has been effective?
